Definitions

  • the invention relates to electrical melting plants and relates in particular to an induction plasma plant.
  • the possibility of carrying out active metallurgical processes in these is limited due to a low temperature of the slags to be made (their temperature must not exceed the temperature of the melt material), which significantly reduces the intensity of the physico-chemical processes taking place at the metal-slag boundary.
  • the throughput of the induction systems is limited by the permissible value of the specific power due to the occurrence of undesirable electrodynamic phenomena, in particular by an excessively high meniscus and an excessively high circulation speed of the melting material.
  • an induction plasma system (see SU copyright certificate No. 462320, published in the sheet “Discoveries, Inventions, Utility Models, Trademarks", No. 8, 1975) contains a vessel for melting the insert, which is located in an inductor is connected to a capacitor bank and an alternating current source, as well as at least one plasmatron, which is electrically connected to the inductor, e.g. connected in series with the inductor
  • the Plasmatron can only be operated with alternating current.
  • practically all of the power brought in by the Plasmatron is used to heat the insert, which increases the efficiency of the system.
  • the plasmatron or a group of plasmatrons is connected in parallel with some of the inductor windings via a switching element and a rectifier and is operated with alternating and direct current.
  • the power is redistributed under the inductor and the plasmatron in stages.
  • the rectifier also increases losses and, as a result, reduces the efficiency of the system.
  • the invention has for its object to provide an induction plasma system with such a power source and with such an electrical connection between the Plasmatron and this power source, through which the efficiency of the system is increased and a continuous power distribution between the inductor and the Plasmatron during the melting process becomes.
  • the object is achieved in that in the induction plasma containing a vessel for melting the insert, which is located in the inductor, which is connected in parallel with a capacitor bank and a controllable current source with which at least one plasmatron is electrically connected, according to the invention
  • Power source has a rectifier and an inverter, the input of which is connected to the output of the rectifier, the plasmatron being connected to the on gear of the wake-up inverter is connected.
  • the control range of the power of the inductor and the plasmatron is expanded and their continuous redistribution between them is ensured.
  • the melting time is shortened, the useless heat losses are reduced and as a result the efficiency of the system is increased and the power consumption is reduced.
  • the induction plasma system contains a vessel 1 (FIG. 1) for melting the insert, which is located in an inductor 2, which is connected in parallel with a capacitor bank 3 and a controllable current source 4.
  • the current source 4 has a rectifier 5, an inverter 6, the input of which is connected to the output of the rectifier 6, and a control unit 7 for the rectifier and the inverter.
  • At least one plasmatron vertically adjustable by means of an adjusting device (not shown in FIG.),
  • an electric arc plasmatron 9 which is connected to the input of the inverter 6, is arranged in the lid 8, which closes the vessel 1.
  • the circuit of the plasmatron 9 is formed by the following elements: input of the inverter 6 - plasmatron 9 - plasma arc 10-melting metal 11 - ground electrode 12 - input of the inverter 6.
  • FIG. 2 Another embodiment variant of the induction plasma system is possible, which is essentially similar to the one described above. The difference is that the system contains a second plasmatron 13 (FIG. 2) which is connected in series with the plasmatron 9.
  • the bottom electrode 12 (FIG. 1) is omitted because the working circuit of the plasma cartridge 13 (FIG. 2) is closed via the plasma arc 14, the metal 11 and the plasma arc 10 of the plasma cartridge 9.
  • the induction plasma system works as follows
  • the insert to be melted down is placed in the vessel 1 (FIG. 1).
  • the controllable capacitance of the capacitor bank 3 compensates for the reactance of the inductor-metal system.
  • the power source 4 is switched on and the heating of the output insert is started with the aid of the inductor 2.
  • An auxiliary arc is ignited between the electrodes of the plasmatron 9 using an oscillator (not shown in FIG.). The supply of the plasma-forming gas to the plasmatron 9 is ensured beforehand.
  • the main arc 10 is then ignited between the cathode of the plasma cartridge 9 and the insert, and the melting process begins.
  • the control unit 7 uses the rectifier 5 and the inverter 6 to set an optimal electrical operating state of the “inductor-metal-plasmatron” system as a function of the given technological process.
  • control action of the control unit 7 on the rectifier 5 takes place according to the control angle a and on the inverter 6 according to the frequency m of the inverter of the current.
  • the output voltage U of the inverter 6 depends both on the control angle a and on the frequency m and is based on the equation determined, where U d - output voltage of the rectifier 5, which depends on the angle a;
  • the voltage at the plasmatron 9 and inductor 2 can be regulated continuously and independently of one another, and consequently a stepless one Redistribution of the absorption power under the Plasmatron 9 and the inductor 2 can be achieved.
  • the supply voltage U d of the plasmatron 9 changes from 20% to 100% of the nominal value and the supply voltage U of the inductor 2 changes from 15% to 100% of the nominal value, the ratio of the voltage U k to the voltage U d being the number 1 , 3 may not fall below.
  • the power source 4 is switched off from the supply network and a new charge set is placed in the vessel 1. Then the vessel 1 is closed again with the lid 8. Voltage is applied to the plasmatron 9 and the bottom electrode 12, the arc 10 is ignited and the melting process is continued until the entire insert has melted completely.
  • the metal is overheated above the melting temperature and, if necessary, refined. This takes place either when the inductor 2 and the plasmatron 9 are operated together or only by means of the inductor 2.
  • the induction plasma system according to the variant shown in FIG. 2 functions similarly to that described above.
  • the choice of their optimal operating state during the melting process is made easier, whereby the melting time is shortened, the efficiency of the system is increased and its technological possibilities are expanded.
  • the induction plasma layer is intended for melting and for the technological treatment of high-quality ferrous and non-ferrous metals and alloys in metallurgy and cast production
